Acclaimed Americana outfit The Delines have released their stunning new album The Set Up — out now via Décor Records — to widespread international acclaim, and have just completed a sold-out UK tour across March 2026. Find the new record, and upcoming tickets: http://www.thedelines.com Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Amy Boone and led by songwriter and novelist Willy Vlautin, The Delines continue to carve out their own cinematic corner of Americana — blending country-soul, jazz textures and deeply human storytelling into something both intimate and widescreen. A darker, more fractured companion to Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom, The Set Up explores the fallout of broken lives and blurred morality — inhabiting a world of grifters, addiction and quiet desperation. Tracks such as “Dilaudid Diane” and “The Meter Keeps Ticking” showcase Vlautin’s gift for narrative songwriting, while Boone delivers some of the most powerful performances of her career. The record has already drawn exceptional praise across Europe: “Without any doubt, The Set-Up is the best work by The Delines to date.” — Eclipsed (DE) “Cinema at its finest. Great songs. It’s all there.” — LOOP (DE) “An exceptionally beautiful album.” — OOR (NL) “Album of the Week” — Rolling Stone (FR) “This is Nobel Prize music.” — Fokus Musik (SE) With its rich, atmospheric production from longtime collaborator John Morgan Askew, The Set Up unfolds like a film — immersive, evocative and emotionally devastating in equal measure. Following the momentum of their March UK tour, The Delines will return to the road throughout 2026, including a run of UK dates this October and European shows across Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands. The band have also announced their biggest UK headline show to date, set for London’s Barbican Centre in 2027, marking a major milestone in their continued rise. 🎟 Tickets: http://www.thedelines.com
